Thursday, January 21, 2010
With the Department of Defense expected to announce its plans concerning East Coast homeporting of nuclear aircraft carriers in the near future, Congressman Glenn Nye (VA-02) is leading a new effort to advocate for maintaining a strong military presence in Hampton Roads.
At a press conference in front of the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk on Thursday, Nye announced the formation of the Hampton Roads Military Affairs Commission. The Commission will provide independent policy advice on military issues affecting Hampton Roads, including the ongoing debate over East Coast homeports for nuclear aircraft carriers.
